Good morning all and welcome to another workweek (those of you that actually work, that is). Well, finally we made the rain map proud. It started to rain very early yesterday, and really came down around 8:00. By noon we had 2 1/2" and flooding. Scottsdale holds the record right now with some areas there getting close to 5" in the past few days. We have catch basins all over that are usually used as parks and playgrounds. They all looked like lakes with plaything tops sticking out. Streets and freeways flooding all over town. The downside is that they lost one little girl swept from the top of the car in a flooded wash, and a teenage girl who tried to cross a flooded wash up around Cottonwood. These things seem to repeat themselves every year during our monsoon season, bad enough to try to cross a flooded street, but there are those that try to cross raging washes that are normally dry. Prayers for these kids and their families and hopes that no one else tries to do these things.
Not much else going on, got a free day today, the rest of the week is going to be busy, will try to get some work done on my layout, caught up on my household chores, not going too far from home until they've cleaned up the messes from yesterday's storm, some folks had their front yards washed into the street, others got parts of trees laying all over the place.
